Interested in exploring writing through workshops and lectures in Lisbon, Portugal next summer? Visit http://disquietinternational.org/ and find out more about Dis|Quiet, the Dzanc Books International Literary Program. (There is also information about how to apply for the International Literature Award.) Faculty and guests will include EMU Professor Christine Hume.

Additional funding is available for EMU students. For details, e-mail Prof. Hume at chume @ emich.edu.

We are holding a multi-genre contest in affiliation with the magazine of art and politics Guernica. Submissions should involve an international aspect, thereby broadening the landscape of North American literature outside of the borders of North America. The author of the winning piece wins airfare, accommodations, and a full tuition scholarship to the ILP plus publication in Guernica. Finalists will receive partial tuition scholarships and may be considered for publication.

Just a reminder to not forget about the upcoming deadlines for these submission opportunities:

The deadline for Cellar Roots (2011 edition), the EMU student-produced literature and arts annual, is December 27, 2010. Get full submission details here.

The deadline for the Dzanc Books Short Story Collection Contest is December 31, 2010. The winning author will have her/his collection published in the fall of 2013 as well as receive a $1,000 advance. Entry fee is $20. Get the full details here.

Dzanc Books has announced its newest venture: an online journal called The Collagist. The first issue of The Collagist will be published on August 15th, 2009, and appear subsequently each month thereafter at www.thecollagist.com. Each month, The Collagist will deliver new short stories, poems, and essays from both emerging and established writers, an exclusive excerpt from a forthcoming novel, and book reviews.
